As a sustainability consultant, I often get asked some version of the question "What company is the most sustainabie?" It is a good question and there is no definitive answer. One can look to various rankings from a variety of organizations from magazines (e.g. Forbes 100 Most Sustainable Companies) to academic institutes (Claremont-McKenna's Environmental and Sustainability Reporting Scores) to nonprofits (e.g. Climate Counts Scorecard). But, of course, the devil is in the details - in the details of the scoring rubric created by the judge. Some include only environmental metrics, others include social metrics, while some include governance and ethical metrics. It is enough to leave anyone confused. (Note: links to the three cited organizations are listed below my signature).

Recently I've noticed how much smarter some kids are about wildlife. It's encouraging that CNC, and organizations like us (education and wildlife rehabilitation centers), seem to have done a great job in communicating good information about wild animals and habitat concerns, and that many schools have embraced the importance of more environmental education.
